    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

External View Hat Switch Panning - Smooth vs Incremental

I should know the answer to this because I've seen it before but I don't remember. In FSX is there a toggle-type keystroke that changes the external view panning of the hat switch from where your view sorta glides left/right/up/down to where it quickly snaps left/right/up/down? I wonder if I accidentally pushed a button that changed the panning during a flight. Went from smooth to incremental and I don't know what I did. Next flight it defaulted back to the smooth panning.

It's not ScrollLock, perchance?

I don't think so, that key is only "Print Screen" on my keyboard. I'm thinking it might have been a low memory issue with my computer while I was flying... but if anybody else wants to comment I'd like your input.
 
There's an entry in the CAMERAS.CFG file that will do that. I think. try this: Change the PanPbhAdjust=Ordinal to PanPbhAdjust=Swivel

Do that in ever camera view in that file to make the hat switch pan smoothly. Kinda a PITA, but open it with NotePad and use it's Find-and-Replace feature and it goes pretty quick and easy.

In my cameras.cfg file the PanPbhAdjust entries are already set to "Swivel" so I'm gonna write this problem off as my sim just going stupid for one flight. :biggrin-new: Thank you PhantomTweak and Hairyspin for your comments. :encouragement:

Haven't got my sim running at present but try SHIFT or CTRL (something like that) and moving the hat. It also slows zooming in and out as well.
